Love at the Shore Page #4

wearing brass button jackets

and ridiculous...

Okay, we're done here.

Thanks very much.

Besides that mess

of a character

I'd say you got yourself

a really good story.

Hmph. You're impossible,

you know that?

What? I'm giving

you a compliment.

You're welcome.

'It's like a total invasion

of privacy, am I right?'

Can you slow down?

That's the problem, I can't,

like, not even a little bit

because I'm, like,

50 pages behind

and my neighbor is

so not helping at all.

I mean, every time

I sit down to work

bam, there he is,

he's like a...

Annoying insurance commercial

that you turn on

every time you turn on the TV.

Maureen? Are you alright?

I think I missed that last bit.

See, I'm not even close

to the house

and he's still driving me nuts.

Well, if you guys are anything

like my seventh graders

you taunt the ones you like.

Yeah, I love you, but no.

-That's not it.

-Maybe?

I promise you, this is not

some middle school crush.

He doesn't even like me,

he's just impossible.

Maybe I was talkin' about you.

What? No. I don't,

I can't-I can't...

I can't be distracted, so no.

Okay. Then what are you

gonna do about it?

I don't know, check my

blood pressure

two times a day?

Okay, maybe three.

I'm sorry, but you're gonna

have to come up

with a better plan than that.

Right.

A plan.

That still seems best.

Please answer.

Please answer.

Please...

'Please leave a message

at the tone.'

Hi, this is Jenna Turner

at your Seawatch property.

I hate to do this,

but I was wondering

if we could change rentals?

The location is perfect

and the property

is really sweet

but our neighbor...

'I mean, it's one thing'

'to live next

to a stubborn, messy surfer'

'when you're single, but..'

'...when you're a single parent

with two young kids'

then you can't have

distractions day and night

and I have a lot of work

to do, so...

I'm sorry I'm rambling,

but if you have anything

can you let me know, please?

Thanks.

Are you ready for the sandstorm?

My feet won't even touch

the ground.

-'Yeah!'

-Lucas!

Hey there, you.

Here.

I made this for Tank.

-What is it?

-It's a collar.

Well, you know,

it's very decorative.

It's not decorative.

It's to help him stop pulling.

Okay. Now I see.

Well, that is,

it's very smart of you.

I know.

Nick helped too.

And he hates crafts.

Well, that's very sweet.

Of the both of you.

And it's also

very pretty up close.

Will you give it to him?

You know what?

He's gonna love this.

Thank you.

Now, you can't tell me

that you're not competitive.

I see you runnin'

around out there.

It's not the same thing.

We always race.

Well, you should want

to push yourself

the same way here.

-I do.

-But then I need to see it.

I thought we were done.

You wanna improve

your time, or what?

Go!

Go, go, go,

go, go, go!

-What?

-Nothin'.

I'm just sayin'.

Cute.

Really cute.

And no.

'Alright, come on!'

'Now, reach for it.'

One more time.

Good form, come on!

Did I get it?

What's my time?

You're early.

I should probably...

Leave you guys to it.

Yeah, it's probably

a good idea.

'I mean, you gotta...

We tell each other everything.'

I know you don't like him.

Maybe as a neighbor,

but that's just it.

He's a good coach, mom.

I mean, he's not my coach,

but he's been helping.

That's not the point.

And my time is improving.

Slowly.

I'm glad about that.

I am. It's just...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Let's talk about this

more at home, okay?

-Okay.

-Alright.

Come on, Ally, let's go.

Grab your stuff, okay?

'I mean, it's one thing'

'to live next to a stubborn,

messy surfer'

'when you're single, but..'

'...when you're a single parent

with two young kids'

'you can't have distractions

day and night'

'and I have a lot

of work to do, so..'

'I'm sorry I'm rambling,

but if you have anything'

'can you let me know, please?'

'Thanks.'

Alright.

I get why you're mad,

I just don't see

what being messy

has to do with it.

I'm sorry?

Fine. You're right

about one thing.

I didn't s-say anything.

We should've told you

that we were having lessons.

I was just trying

to help the poor kid out.

I know.

You know?

That's why I'm here.

Can I come in?

Yeah. Of course.

Thanks.

What you got there?

A little thank you.

Don't let the color fool you.

It's actually pretty good.

You made me dessert.

The kids picked out

the flavor.

I just wanted

to let you know how much

I appreciate what you've

been doing for Nick.

I'm really not doing much.

That's not what he said.

Well, then he's being

very generous.

I'm just helpin' out

where I can.

-It's nothing.

-Maybe.

Or maybe you care a little bit

more than you want

anyone to know?

Either way, I hope

you enjoy the treats.

Are you kidding?

Rainbow-colored food

is my favorite type of food.

Okay, I guess they

know you better than I do.

So, you'll keep me in the loop?

I will now.

Great, thanks.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Well, I guess they're stayin'.

I'm king of the mountains.

You can't be king.

Why? Because I'm a girl?

No, because I'm king.

-No, I'm king!

-No, I'm king.

-'I'm king.'

-'I'm king.'

-'I'm king.'

-Alright, you're both kings.

Now, everybody in their seats.

We're supposed to be there

in ten minutes.

'Y'all wanna keep it

down out here?'

I am tryin' to sleep.

It's five o'clock

in the afternoon.

I was kidding.

It was a joke.

Were you

pretending to be me?

Very funny.

I try.

You guys heading

to the concert in the park?

If everybody will get

in their seats, yes.

Are you coming too?

Every Thursday.

Lucky.

Why don't I drive you?

You want us to ride in that?

-Cool!

-Cool!

-Can we? Please?

-Can we? Please?

I mean, does the thing

even have seatbelts?

-This is awesome.

-Okay, this is pretty cool.

Not as bad as you thought?

Poor Tank.

No, not bad at all.

So, do you think you might

have time for another lesson?

Under one condition.

No hugging.

I don't get it.

Why would I...

-Hi.

-Hi, Kayla.

-How are you?

-Good, how are you?

Will you do me a favor?

Will you take Tank?

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Yeah, thank you.

-I'll catch you in a bit, okay?

-That's okay.

-Hey, guys.

-Hey.

For being so punctual

you're real late.

I'm sorry, we decided

to ride share.

You decided to what?

Right!

-Hey, neighbor.

-Hey!

-You surprised to see me?

-'Maybe.'

So, does this mean

we're making more room?

Or building a wall?

Makin' more room.

Right, Lucas?

Actually, I think Lucas

is meeting his girlfriend.

-So, we should just...

-My what?

Your girlfriend?

Who's that? Kayla!

'No, no, she's..'

We've known each other

for years.

She's like a

little sister to me.

So, she's not your girlfriend?

'No, she's definitely'

'not my girlfriend.'

She's just a, a good friend

that I happen to employ.

What do you mean employ?

At the summer camp?

Yeah, well, technically,

you can call it my summer camp

'but I've never been one for..'

'...job titles.'

You are definitely
